If you have a few days in the Amalfi Coast, here is my ideal way to spend it!
My perfect day in Positano looks like:
If you arrive in the morning, put you bags away and prepare to walk up a million steps to your hotel/air bnb! They do have porters at the ferry to take your bags to your hotel for you! We took the ferry to Positano from Naples where we flew in! Get settled put on a bikini and a sun dress and walk over to the Positano dock!
Lunch at Da Adolfo is A MUST! you wait at the Positano dock for a cute little boat with a red fish on it! The boat leaves every 30 min to take you to restaurant. We ended up on the boat with the grandson of Da Adolfo and ended up spending the entire day with him and his friends and learned the entire history of Da Adolfo and how it is such a HUGE part of Positano!
Quote from the website:
"Today, after 40 years, the Laurito beach, with its restaurant, have become, despite their "wild simplicity", a national and international meeting place that has attracted stars and divas, politicians and magnates, artists and ordinary people. which all return to the beach of the “da Adolfo” restaurant in Laurito. It is as if they had made an "ideal date" to find themselves in this corner of a dream. What dictated this success? It is easy to explain. If in your mind and in your heart you are looking for a reference of uncontaminated beauty to spend your days of freedom at sea and in the sea caressed by a breeze that discreetly spreads on your skin, if you want to be bathed in the sun, if you want to taste food with an ancient flavor expertly prepared, if you aspire to keep the intrusive sounds of radios, I-Pods and cell phones away, if you want to immerse yourself and swim in a cave where the mineral waters of a spring invade it before diving into the sea, the beach di Laurito fully satisfies all these desires of yours. Today, as 40 years ago, you can reach Laurito beach by sea, on a Sorrento gozzo which in less than 15 minutes picks you up from the large pier of Positano and lands you on the beach that has been defined as “the last paradise”. The short journey along the coast, towards Amalfi, plunges you into those “deep and liquid silences like the green eyes of a green cat” which are “the appetizer of the spirit” that will make you enjoy the time you spend on the Laurito beach. This short transfer is a free and exclusive service made for the customers of the “da Adolfo” restaurant. Today, as always, Adolfo, from the height of his venerable age, oversees the life of Laurito while the reins of the management have passed to his son Sergio who, in full respect of traditions, has made intelligent improvements to the structure of the restaurant without upset the initial appearance of the place. The culinary traditions that have determined the success of the restaurant da Adolfo a Laurito are fully respected. (Just mention, one for all, the slices of mozzarella, spread on wild lemon leaves collected from the trees that grow on the rocky cliffs behind the beach and cooked on a charcoal grill to justify a trip to this "last paradise" ). The days spent on the beach of Laurito have a background soundtrack created by the undertow that softly murmurs on the stones and which naturally mixes with the calls of the cormorants that quickly plunge into the waters. Their dives help fishermen to identify the schools of fish that cross the sea of Positano."
I recommend getting the white wine with peaches in it, it is a must and a specialty there! Soon you will be laughing and eating in good company with the most beautiful view! All dishes are unbelievable!! we were lucky to sample most of them but definitely get the pasta and a fresh fish!
Then after a late lunch and lounging in the sun it is time to go home shower and change for pre dinner drinks Franco's bar at Le Sirenuse watching the sun set over the gorgeous colorful buildings !!
So many option for dinner!! you can try champagne bar and grill at Le Sirenuse (gorgeous sunset views and restaurants) or you can try the classic Villa Treville you can try Next2 !!
After dinner everyone goes out to Music on the Rocks! its a fun bar where all the fun people go!
